My life goal today was to change the Bin’s logo. As I lay in bed, I figured out what the new logo was. Tonight, it took me two hours to redo this logo. Previous ones, except for the first had been done by professional designers.

The previous logo had been the longest running one at ComicBookBin. Introduced in 2008, it was meant to represent a man reading comics where many of us read them, in the restroom.

When I introduced this concept, we lost a writer who felt that this logo was in poor taste. I still don’t think that it was. It really is where most guys read comics and books! It was also a feeling of rebellion saying to the rest of the comic book industry that we were independents and would do things our way. I’m a bit older now and I don’t need to prove anything to the rest of the comic book industry. We have been around since 2002, always owned by the same person (me). Comics change so fast but we remain, steady, steadfast. Comic news and review sites are not that popular anymore because of social media. Most people get their comic news and reviews from YouTube and podcasts.It's a bit odd for a visual medium.
